php, Python & Coding.

I enjoy working in html, css, php, mysql and python. I don’t pretend to be a programmer but can work with existing material and build basic apps and programs from scratch.

Projects

Coming soon

I have been working on a series of python scripts to a) remediate old epub2 ebooks, b) clean up after InDesign exports, and c) most importantly bring them up to current accessibility standards. Currently they are a work-in-progress but I hope to have them up on GitHub fairly soon.

ETS Bus Fares

My partner wanted a quick way to check whether it was more economical to buy a monthly bus pass or just purchase individual tickets in any give month. This app calculates the amount of working days and returns the costs/day.

Built with python/flask, containerized and hosted using Docker.

Boat Search

github.com/b-t-k/Search-boatsites-flask-app

This is a complete flask/python web app that searches several boat for sale sites and returns aggregated results for different regions.

http://search.neverforever.ca

The app was originally hosted using gunicorn / nginx on a Google Cloud virtual server but has since transitioned to another server.

Sailing Log

A python script that searches emails and auto posts contents to an online boat log .

Calibre Book Journal

A python script that scrapes a local copy of Calibre-Web and returns a “read” book list in the form of a markdown file, which is in turn posted on a wordpress blog organized by year.

BlackBoard Quiz Maker

The Blackboard LMS (Learning Management System) allows for imported quizzes. This php/mysql site allows quizes to be built off-line and then imported into blackboard. It features multiple question types and an export feature.

PHP/Mysql

See my web design page for work I have done with database-driven php/mysql sites.
